"Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor"

When the line from an Emma Lazarus poem was inscribed on the Statue of Liberty in 1886, it quickly became a symbol of welcome for oppressed immigrants around the world. But more than 120 years later, does America still want “your tired your poor?” In the next installment of “The Border” immigration series, we look at the US’ changing relationship to immigrants – what people we want coming to our country today. Plus: the lack of the upper middle class in the military and competitive eating on the day of Nathan's hot dog contest.
